So the greatest common factor 7448,1704 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/25288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7448/29,1704/872 is 8/25288
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 29,872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,872) = ( 29 × 872 ) / 1
LCM(29,872) = 25288 / 1
LCM(29,872) = 25288
